What's the impact on "WRITE SAME failed. Manually zeroing"
Issue
-
Each time when we reboot the server, we see the following messages in
/var/log/messages
. What do they mean and how can we fix this issue?Mar 19 07:53:55 serverX kernel: dm-4: WRITE SAME failed. Manually zeroing. Mar 19 09:58:36 serverX kernel: dm-4: WRITE SAME failed. Manually zeroing. Mar 19 10:00:52 serverX kernel: dm-4: WRITE SAME failed. Manually zeroing.

Do I need to worry about
WRITE SAME failed. Manually zeroing
messages in my logs. - The logged event
WRITE SAME failed. Manually zeroing
is causing the system to take a long time to reboot (slow reboot). - Getting "WRITE SAME failed. Manually zeroing." in dmesg
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 (RHEL)
